The location is fantastic, and the amenities were excellent, making it a comfortable base for exploring the area. However, I did encounter a few cleanliness issues. Despite requesting a thorough vacuuming of spiders and ants, they remained in the same spots when we returned, which was a bit disappointing. With a bit more attention to room upkeep, this place could be perfect.

it’s actually a divided hut behind the main building of hostel. Quite hot during the sunny daytime, no air con and fans available. The only fan in bathroom was super loud. Just like motel at back. Should be aware noise when cars and other guests passed though the stone road.

Haka house is a very easy choice for financial savings with clean bedding. On the flip side, there is no monitoring of how the kitchen area is maintained during/after use. It’s obvious that the “children” are not monitored to be sure they clean up after themselves. I would expect an hostel to have some type of policy in place during busy kitchen hours. Every kitchen use required avoiding someone’s mess that was left behind.

Limited on-site paid parking but the near by area allows overnight parking from 6pm to 8am. Then 240 min free parking during 8am to 6pm. No re-parking during the day after using your 240min free parking. Since we are out during the day, it worked for us. Most guests try to keep the kitchen clean but the kitchen can use a few improvements. Like…. Fixing the chipped shelves/counter top, providing a (window) squeegee to clean/wipe the wet stainless steel countertop . This would reduce the need of towel cleaning also. Add food scrap strainers to the sinks.
